i won a flying mazda emblem on eBay last week but it's sloped on the back
so i can't fit it on the Precidia. not on the hood, not on the trunk
my fault i guess since these emblems come in a variety of shapes depending on the model they're molded for
which flying mazda emblem exactly fits on the Precidia then?
it's just as cheap to buy them from Mazda apparently.

Try grinding the back down? How exactly is it sloped?
And how much was it?

sloped in the form of the trunk they're meant for i guess.
i guess rx-7s and 626s must have a slope back there.

)

sloped like that (the back side of the emblem being the convexed right side)

i don't think it's bent or anything. looking from both sides it's obvious that it was made to be that way so it would fit on what it's supposed to fit on.

Eunos....

But out of the two, old every time. Unless it's modified like Jovian did, that looks pimp.

They had to change the old school one beacuse of renault's logo similarity.

I like the one with round corners, beacuse that's the one my wood and I've learned to like it.

I agree with Neutral.. I like the older 91-92 logo.. so much so that when I got my new heliums in.. I custom created (with Barry's help) logos for the center of my rims..

I like the new one but at the same time I really like the old one because it feels more authentic and again really creative, its not just a stupid M. Its really nice even though its old. I would like just a newer update of the old symbol
